| “Throughout our adoption journey, AdoptOntario was an integral part of allowing us to connect and learn about the children and youth who were on permanency journeys.” – Adoptive Family
On Wednesday, March 23, 2022, AdoptOntario invites you to Power of Permanency, an Online Adoption Event. Not only will you have an opportunity to learn more about adoption and available resources, but you will also learn about an amazing group of youth looking for permanency. What is Power of Permanency? Power of Permanency is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about how you can provide a loving home for a young person who desires a stable, supportive, and caring family. Youth over 15 make up almost half the children/young people in Ontario’s foster care system. As young people prepare to begin their journey towards independence, a family is crucial in providing them with the unconditional support they need as they navigate life’s challenges. Join us to learn more about these incredible young people and how you can support them as they grow and reach new milestones!
